Erik Sean Shwortz (2192-2240) was an Utopian rocket engineer. He was working for Paikan Corporation when he designed the now very famous Paikan Intergalactic Spaceships.

He designed seven spaceship:

Class A: Paikan I, Paikan II

Class B: Paikan III, Paikan IV

Class C: Paikan V, Paikan VI, Paikan VII

But only five were built.

The Class A were small and made to stay together during the trip. Each one could take in 5000 people. The were destroyed during Utopia's evacuation.

The Class B were designed to take in 10 000 people including the crew, they are bigger than the Class A. Paikan IV was destroyed during the evacuation.

The Class C were very advanced technologies ships. These are the same model than the Class B but offlines. Only Paikan V were built, the Paikan Corporation didn't have the time to finish the others. Paikan V was programmed to reach Saloria but it never did. The ship is officially considered as lost.
